Scott Walker ends drought with assist in win
by Bruno Mulé | Hurricanes Correspondent | Wed, Jan 22nd 12:02pm EST
Scott Walker recorded an assist, six shots on goal, two hits, and two penalty minutes while posting a plus-2 rating in the Hurricanes' 2-1 victory over the Stars on Tuesday. His helper came on a shot that deflected off Jesperi Kotkaniemi and into the net, snapping a nine-game point drought.
Fantasy Impact:
Walker’s offensive contributions remain limited, with just 10 points through 48 games this season. However, his high shot volume (812 shots), combined with 54 blocked shots and 49 hits, provides value in leagues that reward peripheral stats. As a bottom-four defenseman, Walker’s fantasy appeal is best suited for deep formats where his physicality and defensive contributions can make a difference. Managers should temper expectations for consistent offense moving forward.
